Down by the Willow Garden

[Verse 1]
Down by the willow garden
My love and I did meet
And there we sat a-courtin'
My young love fell asleep
I had a bottle of Burgundy wine
My young love dear not know
And there I poisoned that dear little girl
Down by the banks below

[Verse 2]
I drew my saber through her
Which was a bloody night
I threw her into the river
Which was a dreadful sight
My father often told me
That money would set me free
If I should murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connolly

[Verse 3]
My father sits in his cabin door
Wipin' his tear-dimmed еyes
He knows today that his only son
Will walk to the scaffold high
My racе is run beneath the sun
The gallow now waits for me
For I've murdered that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connolly
